"I'll ask John to figure it out. We've lost a lot of people, and I think that's going to be arranged. The exchange of the bodies of the dead on both sides, it's not a big deal. And this war here is only a skirmish for the Russians, and as the soon-to-be victors, they should not refuse. Donovan said.

Pete didn't say anything more, but nodded and went back to the tent. And just as Pete was trying to find Jeff's body, Jeff's body was taken away by the Ossetians led by Ashraf and the Ossetians who arrived later, just as Donovan thought. Along with the corpses of all the murdered Yankee mercenaries were taken away. Of course, this is not out of humanitarianism, but simply because Ashraf is trying to prove what he says and does. After all, he failed to grasp the most valuable target, he had to take responsibility for the outcome of this operation, whether the people above wanted to listen to him or not, he had to do something.

The collected bodies were quickly transported to a place in the north on the border with Russia called Kazbegi. Here, the bodies of all the mercenaries were neatly lined up and photographed.

Ashraf probably counted the corpses, and there must have been twenty or so. And that's not counting those that were blown to pieces during an air raid or that were not found for other reasons. Looking at the corpses, Ashraf shook his head slightly. It was a surprise to him that the mission turned out to be like this. Although he thought about a lot of situations before the mission began, and did not underestimate the enemy in the process. But when he looked at the corpses and thought of the scene when he had exchanged fire with them before, Ashraf still felt a wave of fear. This is not only because he has lost too many people this time, but also because he has reversed and reviewed the roles of himself and the other party in his mind, and in his opinion, it is difficult to be as good as the other party if he is in that situation. At least not enough to quickly organize the people alive for a final struggle after the air raids.

This is his real opponent. Those Georgians are not worth mentioning at all. No! It should be said that his fight with the Yankees has only just begun, and in the days to come, he will inevitably meet them again. It may be more intense at that time, but I hope that I will still be the one who left alive.

"Captain!" As Ashraf watched the corpses lose his mind, a voice called him back.

Ashraf turned his head to look at the man, only to see the man raise the digital camera in his hand and say, "The photos are all taken." ”

"Then send it out." Ashraf pointed to the corpses on the ground, "Pack them all." Don't damage it anymore. Then they will be transported away with the captives we have captured. ”

About half an hour later, the images that had just been taken appeared on Younis in Moscow. However, the old guy didn't seem to be interested in these, but after reading a few of them, he threw them over, raised his eyes and looked at Ivan who was sitting on the other side of the desk, and said, "What do the corpses of these mercenaries mean?" Want to show how difficult it is for that child named Achraf? Didn't they all annihilate them in the face of air raids? In addition to being caught by them, this guy named Steve has some value. ”

Younis's reaction seemed to be in Ivan's expectation, and he smiled helplessly. Younis saw Ivan's expression and said with some confusion: "What? Am I not right? ”

"Nope." Ivan immediately shook his head and said, "I think Ashraf certainly has such a mind in mind. But I think it's normal. If I were to do the same instead, I would feel wronged, I would have paid a lot, and I would have met a worthless but extremely tough opponent, and it would be more appropriate to describe it as smelly and hard. Before you get the final judgment, you must make some excuses for yourself. After seeing Younis nodding slightly in agreement, Ivan continued: "But that's not what I'm talking about. What I want to say most is that at this moment Semolov's actions may be facing great obstacles. ”

Ivan's words finally aroused Younis's interest, and he picked up the photos again and looked at them: "You mean, it will become like this with Semolov too?" He shook the picture in his hand as he spoke.

"At first, Achraf didn't have that many Yankees there." Ivan said and glanced at the photo, "These are the ones who came to support later." This has been mentioned in previous reports. But there doesn't seem to be such a problem with Semolov. It's just that after some people were caught, the other escaped. However, there is no report that a large number of mercenaries have appeared or supported the other side. ”

Younis frowned, thought about it, put down the photo, and said, "That is, Semolov may face a large number of mercenaries who suddenly appear at any time?" ”

"Massive? It's hard to say. Ivan shook his head slightly, "According to the intelligence, the maximum number of personnel they have entered Georgia this time is one hundred and twenty or thirty people, and a considerable part of them are still performing other security tasks. Therefore, there should not be too many people who can really be used casually. This shows from Achraf's report the approximate number of personnel they can use, and after losing so many people, it should be said that they can only use fewer people. ”

Younis nodded, "They can be temporarily drawn from somewhere else, if it's really necessary." It's not hard to do that, Georgia is a small place, and it doesn't take much time to get people around. Saying that, Younis looked at Ivan and said, "Are you worried that Semolov will be careless?" Because the other party didn't cause him big trouble before, was he? After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember something: "When did the army take control of the border with Abkhazia and repel the Georgians there?" ”

"Tomorrow." Ivan immediately said: "That's what I want to say. I don't think the Yankees are completely unaware. Then they will certainly not wait for the attack to start and think of supporting them when the border has completely fallen. So I think today, they are already on their way to support, and even have arrived. ”

Needless to say, Younis also realized what Ivan was trying to say. He said with some concern: "Has Semolov found any trace of those people now?" ”

Ivan shook his head slightly and said, "There is no exact location yet." Only the area is roughly drawn. It should be a place called Alt on the border. ”

"Alter?" Younis clearly didn't have much of an impression of this place.
